TRICOTHECIUM GRISEUM, CK. (PYRICU- 
EARIA, SACO.) 
My colleague, Dr. Kellerman, finds this in Kansas on a species of 
Muhlenbergia associated with Phyllachora graminis , Pers., on the stroma 
of which it is parasitic (?) or of which, more probably, it constitutes the 
conidial stage. It does not differ from the normal form on Panicum 
otherwise than in its arising directly from the stroma of the Phyllachora. 
What may also be a form of the same was found on withered leaves of 
Paspalum setaceum growing as before directly from the stroma of the 
same Phyllachora or more or less effused around it, but differing from the 
form on Muhlenbergia in its darker colored (olivaceous) hyphse, often 
dichotomously branched above, and in its longer, narrower conidia, 
which are oblong-fusoid, subhyaline, one-septate at first, but finally three- 
septate, 25—35 x 5-7 y. With these conidia, however, were some which 
presented very nearly the normal shape, unless a little narrower. We 
have called this latter form Tricotliecium grisenm. Ck., var. leptosperma ,

NEW SPECIES OF FUNGI FROM KANSAS. 
BY J. B. ELLIS AND W. A. KELLERMAN. 
Vermicularia cicadina, E. & K.-On membrane of the wings of 
dead Cicada. Manhattan, Ks., September, 1887. Kellerman & Swingle, 1087. 
Perithecia scattered, depressed-hemispherical,100—120 y in diameter, spar¬ 
ingly clothed with erect, spreading, opaque, continuous bristles about 75 y 
long and sub-bulbous at the base ; sporules arcuate-fusoid, ends subacute, 
hyaline, about 22 x 24 /'-, on clavate, oblong-basidia, about 10 x 24 y. The 
fungus is also found, but in an immature condition, on living Cicadar 
Peronospoiia Lini, E. &K.—On Linum sulcatum. Manhattan, Ks., 
Sept.,1887. Kellerman & Swingle,1077. Sparsely scattered on the stems and 
leaves; conidiophores about half a millim. high, subfastigiately dichoto¬ 
mously branched above, the tips slender and very slightly curved ; 
conidia elliptical, yellowish-brown, 20—22 x 11—13 y. Oospores not seen.
